HISTORICAL.
ORIGIN, AND LAWS ESTABLISHING THE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The Iowa Agricultural College was formally opened on
the 17th of March, 18G9. It will, consequently, at the close of the
present term complete its eleventh year.
In 1858 the Legislature of Iowa passed an act to establish an
Agricultural College for the purpose of giving a higher
education to the industrial classes. By the same act means were
provided for the selection of a farm, the location of College
buildings, and for experimentation in agriculture, hi 1859 a farm
of six hundred and forty acres, situated in Story county, near
Ames, was selected and purchased for the use of the College. In
1862 a bill was passed by Congress donating public lands to the
several states which may provide Colleges for the benefit of
agriculture and the mechanic arts.
The Ninth General Assembly, convened in extra session by
proclamation of the Governor, passed an act— approved Sept. 11,
1862 — entitled, " An act to accept the grant and carry into execution
the trust conferred upon the State of Iowa by an act of
Congress, entitled, " An act granting public lands to the several
states and territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of
agriculture and the mechanic arts, approved July 2, 1862." The
State thereby accepted the grant upon the conditions and under
the restrictions contained in said act of Congress, and required the
Governor to appoint an agent to select and locate the land granted
in said act, requiring said agent to report to the Governor and
making it the duty of the Governor to lay a list of selections before
the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural College at their next
meeting for their approval, etc.; and appropriating $1,000 to carry
out the provisions of the act.— (Acts Ex. Session, 1862, p. 25.)
10 Towa Agricultural College.
The act accepting the Congressional grant under the conditions
imposed, made the College a National Institution— the state
becoming the trustee in charge.
In 1864 the lands/previously selected, amounting to 204,309 acres,
were reported to the Legislature and confirmed by enactment as
the perpetual endowment of the Agricultural College.
At the same session of the Legislature in which this munificent
endowment was confirmed to the Agricultural College, Governor
Kirkwood and Senators Gue and Clarkson formed a scheme for
realizing an immediate fund by leasing the lands instead of
offering them for sale. This scheme was approved by the
Legislature and passed into a law which authorizes the trustees
to lease for a term of ten years any of the endowment lands. The
lessee, by the terms of the act, pays annually in advance eight per
cent interest on the appraised value of the land, with a right to
purchase at the expiration of the lease. In the case of failure in
the prompt payment of the interest when due, the land with all
improvements reverts to the College.
Annexed is the full text of the Congressional law passed 1862,
granting lands to colleges of agriculture and the mechanic arts.
"Beit enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
in Congress assembled, That there he granted to the several states for the purpose
hereinafter named, an amount of the public land, to he apportioned to each state,
a quantity equal to thirty thousand acres for each Senator and Representative in
Congress to which the states are respectively entitled, hy the apportionment under

provisions of this act.
Sf.c. 2. And be it further enacted, That the land aforesaid, after being

per acre, the quantity to which said state shall be entitled shall be selected from
such lands within the limits of such state, and the Secretary of the Interior is
hereby directed to issue to each of the states in which there is not the quantity of
public lands subject to sale at private entry at one dollar and twenty-five cents
per acre, to which said state maybe entitled under this act, land scrip to the
amount' in acres for the deficiency of its distributive share ; said scrip to be sold by
said states and the proceeds thereof to be applied to the uses and purposes
prescribed in this act, and for no ot her use or purpose whatever : Provided, that

dollar and twcnty-fl ve cents Of less per acre ; and Provided further, That no more

the moneys which may he received therefrom, shall be paid by the state to which
they may belong, out of the treasury of said state, so that the entire proceeds of
the sales of said lands shall be applied without any diminution whatever to the
purposes hereinafter mentioned.
SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That all moneys derived from the sale of the
lands aforesaid by the states to which the lands are apportioned, and from the
sale of land-scrip hereinbefore provided for, shall be invested in stocks of the
United States, or of the states, or some other safe stocks, yielding not less than five
per centum upon the par value of said stocks ; and that the money so invested shall
constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain forever undiminished,
(except so far as may be provided in section fifth of this act), and the interest of
which shall be inviolably appropriated by each state, which may take and claim
the benefit of this act, to the endowment, support, and maintenance of at least one
college, where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and
classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning
as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the
legislatures of the states may prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and
practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions
of life.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the grant of land and land-scrip hereby
authorized shall be made on the following conditions, to which, as well as to the
provisions hereinbefore contained, the previous assent of the several states shall be
signified by legislative acts :
First.— U any portion of the fund invested as provided by the foregoing section,

college, recording any improvements and experiments made, with their cost and
result, and such other matters, including state industrial and economical statistics,
as may be supposed useful ; one copy of which shall be transmitted by mail free by
each to all the other colleges which may be endowed under the provisions of this
act, and also one copy^to the^Secretary of the Interior.

ORGANIZATION.
Under the sanation of National law, and in harmony with
the plan adopted at its opening, the Agricultural College lias
developed four distinct general courses of study. These courses of
study which the Faculty have carefully and completely revised,
will afford the student a rare opportunity 10 gain the /'liberal
and practical education" required by the congressional law. No
pains have been spared to form curricula that are well balanced;
for while the technical studies that give to each course its special
character are fully represented, there are not wanting those
branches that contribute to a wider culture-
THE COURSES OF STUDY.
1. The Course in Sciences Related to Agriculture.
2. The Course in Mechanical Engineering.
3. The Course in Civil Engineering.
4. The Ladies' Course in Science.
SPECIAL COURSES.
For the purpose of giving some freedom of choice within the
general courses and of meeting urgent demands outside of them,
there have been organized three special courses :
1. Course for Juniors and Seniors in Special Indus-
trial Sciences.
2. Post-graduate Courses of Study.
3. The Preliminary Course.
SCHOOLS.
In order to attain a complete system the four general courses
above mentioned, have been divided into twelve Schools, each
embracing either a single prominent science or a small number of
closely related sciences:
1. School of Agriculture.
2. School of HORTICULTURE.
18 Iowa Agricultural College.
3. School of Veterinary Science.

GOVERNMENT.
The crowded buildings of the Agricultural College and the
nature of its exercises, complicated as they are by manual labor,
make order, punctuality, and systematic effort indispensable.
This institution can therefore offer no inducements to the idler or
the sell-indulgent. Those, moreover, who are too independent to
submit to needful authority, or too restless to accept wholesome
restraint, are advised to go where the courses of study are milder
and the requirements are consequently less. The education
attained here is the result of energetic effort made possible by a
uniform system of conduct and study. The following regulations
give the institution the highest efficiency and secure to the
student the largest possible return for time and expense.
1. 'Idie hoUrs from seven to ten o'clock on week-day evenings,
and Prom 7:30 a. m. to L2M.,and from l p.m. to5p. m. of all week-
days excepl Saturday, are employed in study, recitation, and labor.
•_'. Students must attend punctually all exercises of the classes
to which they belong, except, in cases of illness or unavoidable
detention.
:;. When students have for the above reasons been absent from
any exercise, they shad, in person, as soon as possible present their
us lor such absence to the President, [f absent from any
recitation they shall without delay obtain from the professor in
charge a written recommendation for excuse for such absence,
Which Shall be presented !<» the 1'resident for approval. Xo one is
permitted to attend a second recitation after an unexcused absence.
I. Students boarding and rooming in any building on the
Organization. 23
College Farm shall be subject to the same regulations as those
boarding and rooming in the College building.
:>. students boarding outside the College grounds shall, so far
as possible, keep study hours in their rooms. In the intervals
between recitations at the College building they shall remain in
the chapel, keeping such order as is essential to uninterrupted
study. Access to the rooms and halls of the sections requires
special permission.
(5. Examinations shall be conducted in writing, when possible,
upon questions proposed by the instructors of the various classes,
and no special examinations will be granted except on such days
as the faculty may set apart for that purpose.
7. Xo student shall graduate from this College who has not
passed an examination and attained a standing of three (four being-
perfect) in each of the studies of the course in which he proposes
to graduate. Studies which are pursued for a part of a term, or a
part of the time during any term, shall be counted porportionately
to such part.
PROHIBITORY LAWS FOR THE COLLEGE BUILDING.
1. Students may not leave the vicinity of the College building
at any time without permission from the President. General
permission to be absent on Saturday is granted by the President.
2. Loud talking, whistling, scuffling, gathering in halls and
staircases, and boisterous and noisy conduct, are at all times
forbidden.
:;. During study hours, when not engaged in work or recitation,
students may not leave their rooms except for unavoidable
reasons.
4. At 10 o'clock r. m., lights shall be extinguished, and from
this time to the rising bell no student may be out of his room,
except for serious reasons, nor shall he in any way disturb his
neighbors.
."». Students shall not deface by marking, cutting, or otherwise
any building, walls, or furniture belonging to the College.
6. Students shall not abstract or remove any article, whether
24 Iowa Agricultural College'
clothing, food, furniture, tools, fruit, flowers, or any other property
belonging to the College. Damage, destruction, or theft of prop-
erty, when not more than one dollar in value, will be punished by
a hue double the amount, but when exceeding that sum the case
will be handed over to the civil authorities.
7. Card playing and other games of chance, cooking, and the use
of tobacco and intoxicating beverages, in any of the rooms of the
College buildings, are strictly forbidden.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
NTo literary, scientific, or other society shall be organized without
the approval of the President and faculty. The existing societies,
four in number, meet on Saturday evening and close their sessions
at or before 10:15. Students not attending the meetings of these
societies shall observe the order and quiet required on other
evenings of the week.
PUBLIC WORSHIP AND RELIGIOUS
INSTRUCTION.
The faculty require in and about the College building such quiet
and decorum as are fitting to the observance of the Sabbath.
Officers and students gather daily in the chapel for public worship.
A Bible class, led by some older student, has its exercises on
Sunday, al I p. m. The students' prayer meeting is held on Sunday
evening, and on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 a discourse is given in
the chapel l>\ the President, Professor Wynn, or a clergyman
invited for the occasion. The object of these sermons is to
emphasize and enforce the precepts of the Christian religion, but,
in ;i state instil ill ion like this, it would be manifestly improper to
teach or to controvert the tenets of sectarianism.
STUDENTS' EXPENSES.
i. No charge is made for tuition.
-'• Expenses incidenl to the general management of the College
are paid from the College interest fund.
Organization. 25
... For board, washing - , heating, lighting, and cleaning the
College building, students pay what the items actually cost the
institution. Injury to College property, of whatever sort, will be
charged to the author, when known; otherwise to the section or
the entire body of students.
4. Students boarding in the College building furnish their own
bedding, such as pillows, blankets, ticks, etc. All young men will
be required to supply themselves witli uniforms. (See School of
Military Science.)
THE DINING HALL.
5. The dining- hall will be opened on the evening preceding the
respective days on which the spring and fall terms commence.
Since the boarding department receives no aid from the state, and
consequently is sustained wholly by receipts from the boarders, it
cannot give gratuitous entertainment to any. Students and
others bringing friends to its tables, are therefore required to pay
for such twenty-five cents each meal.
DEPOSIT.
6. As security for the payment of his month's bills, each
student, at the opening of the term, deposits with the Treasurer
the sum of twenty dollars; and on showing the receipt therefor to
the President and signing the record, receives his card of
examination or classification. This deposit will be returned on
final settlement at the close of the term.
TEXT BOOKS.
9. Text-books and stationery may be purchased from the
College Treasurer at ten per cent advance on cost. Our stock is
bought at publisher's prices.
CARE OF MONEY.
10. Students are advised to keep their money and other
valuables in the College safe. While doing all in their power to
prevent losses and punish theft, the officers will not be responsible
for money or articles lost or stolen from the persons or rooms of
students.
26 Iowa Agricultural College.
MONTHLY SETTLEMENT.
7.' All bills tor each month must, without fail, be settled at the
Treasurer's office on the second Saturday of the month following.
Those who neglect this settlement cannot, without special
permission, be permitted to remain in the College.
s. The current expenses of students boarding in the building
the present year are as follows. Should any changes of rates be
made hereafter, for the year 1880, all applicants will be duly
notified:
Board, per week, - $2.50
Lighting and heating, per week, - - .40
Incidentals, per week. - .'21
Room Kent, per term, - - $1.00 to 3.50
Washing, average per dozen, - - - .50
.Janitor's Fee, for students not boarding in the
building, per term, - 5.00
MANUAL LABOR.
The following rules regulating manual labor have been made b*
the Hoard of Trustees. It will be seen that no student can pa/
more than from a third to a half of his expenses in work.
1. The manual labor required by law of students in the College',
is divided into t wo kinds: viz., uninstrucfive labor, which shall be
compensated by the payment of wages; and instructive labor
which shall be compensated by the instruction given and the skill
acquired.
2. I'liinst rnct ive labor shall comprise all the operations in the
work -shop, garden, dining-room, printing office, upon the farm and
elsewhere, in which the work done accrues to the benefit of the
College and not the benefll Of (he student. Instructive labor shall
embrace all those operations in the work-shop, museum,
laboratory, experimental kitchen, upon the farm and garden,
in which the sole purpose of the student is the acquisition of skill
and pracl !<•<•.
:;. Members of the Freshman and sub-Freshman classes may
■ •<• in un instructive labor three hours a day four days a, week,
al the rate of from four to ben cents per hour.
Organization. 27
4. The members of the higher classes shall engage in instructive
labor in the presence and under the instruction of the professor in
charge according to the statements made in the time-table of each
of the courses of study.
5. Special details will be given by the president, on nomination
by 1 leads of departments, to the most faithful and meritorious
students of the higher classes, at the rate of pay for uninstructive
labor.
t>. Students of the higher classes may, at their option, engage in
uninstructive labor at the same rate and under the same conditions
as the Freshman class.
7.' Students capable of acting efficiently as foremen, on
appointment to such duty by the Superintendents, may receive
increased pay not to exceed fourteen cents per hour.

56 Iowa Agricultural College.
SCHOOL OF HORTICULTURE.
PROF. BUDD.
This school forms a part of the regular collegiate course.
Singly and alone the time allotted to this technical line of
study and practice could accomplish little more than to
make the student familiar with some of the leading modes
and methods of empirical gardening, considered mainly as
a mere art. Supported however by the full course in the
natural sciences, the routine of Horticultural operations rises
above the level of unreasoning custom to the rank of applied
science. The cultivated plant becomes a thing of life, varied in
vitality, habit of growth, and fruitfulness by conditions of soil
and air more or less under control.
FRESHMAN YEAR.
The course begins with the second term of the Freshman year.
Barry's " Fruit Garden" is used as a text-book in connection with
seasonable lectures, object lessons, and practice. In connection
the lectures bj Prof. Bessey on Elementary Botany and Vegetable
Physiology prove important aids.
SOPHOMORE YEAR.
During the second term of this year the course of study includes
the propagation and field management of shrubs, evergreens,
llow (-ring plants, forestry trees, garden plaids, etc. in the study
of Forestry, Bryant's "Forest Trees" will be used as a text-
book. The course during this year will be supported by instruc-
tion in Botany, Chemistry, Physics, Entomology, and Vegetable
Biology.
JUNIOR YEAR.
During the firsl term lectures will lie given on all the leading
topic-, of Theorel ical Horl icull ore. As supported by the course in
Vegetable Physiology and Cryptogenic Botany, the student will
be enabled to comprehend vitally important principles pertaining
to vital force, germination, root and stem growth, leaf formation
and function, climatic adaptation, etc.; intimately associated in
"in climate with perfect failure or varied degrees of success in
all Hon icull ural operal ions.

SCHOOL OP VETERINARY SCIENCE.
PROF. STALKER.
In this course the anatomy or the horse will be the special
object of study, but important structural differences of other
domestic animals will be carefully noted. The lectures on anat-
omy will be illustrated by means of plates, models, skeletons, and
prepared specimens of all the organs. A convenient and well-
furnished dissecting-room affords the student every facility for
this important part of anatomical work. All dissections will be
personally superintended by the Professor in charge, or by the
demonstrator; and each student will be required to make a pre-
scribed number of dissections before he can be eligible for final
examination. The course wiii include one lecture each day during
the Junior year.
The study of Zoology is carried through the first year with five
recitations per week. The first term is devoted to the principles of
classification and the study of the true relations of the different
branches of the animal kingdom, with a discussion of some of the
most important physiological functions of animals. The second
term is devoted to the more special consideration of the different
species, paying particular attention to those having an economic
interest. The work in the class-room is supplemented by practice

in the laboratory where the specimens are studied and identified.
In addition to this, each student is required to make a collection
in some branch of Zoology which he may select.
The study of Comparative Anatomy is taken up in the second
term of the second year, and occupies four lectures per week
throughout the term. The subjects treated are General Biology
and Anatomy, the anatomy of the various organisms, the evolu-
tion of the different systems of organs, and comparative embry-
ology. In addition to the lectures, each student spends one
afternoon per week in the laboratory in the dissection and study
of typical organisms.
The course in Histology embraces, 1st —Systemic Histology . This
section deals with the minute anatomy of the animal tissues, and
this is taught systematically by lectures throughout the first term of
the Senior year. 2nd, — Functional Physiology. This section refers
to animal functions, and these are studied under the headings of (a)
Nutrition, (6) Nervous, and (c) Reproduction. This section is
taught in connection with the preceding, and illustrated by
diagrams, microscopical preparations, etc. 3d, — Practical His-
tology. This includes the practical study of the various tissues of
the animal body by the aid of the microscope. The various meth-
ods of preparing tissues tor microscopic examination are taught
with the object of familiarizing the eye of the student with the
minute anatomy of all the tissues of the animal body. The study
is prosecuted by the student under the immediate supervision of
the Professor. The entire course in Histology includes about 80
lectures and six hours laboratory work per week. The facilities in
this department are excellent. The laboratory is a large, well-
lighted room, supplied with a large number of Histological micro-
scopes of the most approved stands, furnished with first-class
objectives. There are also large stands with high powers for the
more difficull work and tor comparison.
General Comparative Pathology, Pathological Anatomy, and His-
tology embrace, 1st, the study ofthe Pathology, prevention, etc., of
t lie epizoot ic and general diseases of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs,
and other domestic animals; the natural history and peculiarities
of parasites with the various affections to which they give rise,
and the means to be adopted in preventing and destroying them.
2d, Pathological Anatomy and Histology. This course is full and
complete. Pal hological specimens of all kinds are brought before
t he class, and Pal hological Histology is fully taught. Post-mortem
n inations are frequentl j made in the presence of the class for
the purpose of familiarizing I he student with the appearance of dis-

cased tissues. The relations of Pathological Histology to the
principles of medicine and surgerj are carefully treated of, and
the advances made in the application of the microscope to exact
Pathology fully considered. The use of the microscope in the
study of Pathological specimens forms an important part of the
Laboratory work during the last term of the Senior year. The
course in Pathology includes about 80 lectures.
A course of twenty lectures on Hereditj will be given during
the first half of the fall term of the Senior year. The subjects
treated will comprise transmissible qualities, characteristics;
inherited traits and habits; the hereditary diseases, defects,
mutilations, and descendible diseases, specially of horses and cat-
tle: reversion; prepotence; in-breeding; crossing; and the produc-
tion of races. The nature and treatment of lineal diseases will
receive thorough attention.
Instruction in Botany extends through one year, the student
devoting two exercises per week to this study during that time.
In the spring term of his first year the student acquaints himself
with general Botany, giving his attention to the identification of
plants, and for this purpose he joins the class in Systematic Bot-
any in the regular College course.
In the fall term the student takes up Economic Botany and
Materia Medica; the origin, preparation, and properties of the
principal medicines derived from the vegetable kingdom are dis-
cussed and dwelt upon, and by means of carefully selected speci-
mens the student is made thoroughly familiar with their
appearance.
During the year each student makes and preserves a collection
of dried specimens of plants, and in this work he is required to
devote particular attention to the native and cultivated plants
which are of importance to the Veterinarian.
The course in Chemistry embraces:

General Chemistry embraces manipulating chemical apparatus,
handling and making gases, studying the properties of different
chemical elements and their compounds. In Qualitative Analysis
the students receive chemicals, minerals, etc., and determine the
elements of which they are composed. The course is very
thorough and no student can go into the Senior year who is unabl

to analyze correctly inorganic substances. Writing chemical
reactions and solving problems forms an important part of the
class work. There are three recitations a week during the first
term, two in the second, and laboratory work two afternoons a
week dining each term.
In the Senior year students commence by analyzing quantita-
tively, pure chemicals, and, as soon as they have acquired sufficient
skill, take up physiological work. This includes the detection of
poisons; analyses of urine from healthy and diseased animals;
examinations of food, including water; qualitative and quantita-
tive analyses of secretions in, and excrements from, the body;
together with such work as the clinical department may require.
Students will also compound or make the medicines required by
the school. During the second term original work is required,
recitations twice a week during the year, laboratory work three
afternoons during the first term and two in the second. A sepa-
rate laboratory is devoted to this work. The desks are furnished
with water, gas, and filter pumps. The required apparatus is fur-
nished by the department and is very complete, embracing scales
capable of weighing l-20,000th of a gramme, microscopes, combus-
tion furnace, and miscellaneous apparatus to the amount of $3,500
in value.
The physiological and therapeutical value of medicines used in
Veterinary practice, their properties, uses, and doses,' are carefully
considered throughout the Senior year, and include about 50
led ures.
The course in Veterinary Medicine and Surgery embraces theo-
retical and practical instruction in the treatment of diseases to
which all domestic animals are subject, as well as the theory and
practice of surgery. The lectures will be illustrated from a valua-
ble colled ion of specimens illustrative of the morbid anatomy as
developed by a V\ ide range of diseases. The student will have the
benefll of assisting in a large practice, and those of the Senior class
\\ ill '"■ made familiar with the use or instruments and the admin-
istration of medicines. Several hundreds of animals, including
horses, cattle, swine, and sheep, are kept on the College Farm, a
large portion of which is breeding stock. Frequent inspection of
these flocks and herds will afford the student most valuable oppor-
tunities for observing sanitary conditions and gaining experience
in obstetrical practice. The course wil] include one lecture a day
durillgth( ear,oraboul one hundred and eighty lectures.
A. collateral course of reading, embracing some of the best approved
"ii llw subjects taught, will be required.
Schools. / 61
One half day each week will be devoted to the clinics held at
the College hospital. The advanced students will be required to
examine animals for certificates of soundness, diagnose diseases,
and prescribe for the same. Hundreds of animals are presented
at these examinations for which medical or surgical advice is
required. The student must exercise judgment as to the course of
treatment to be pursued in these widely differing forms of disease.
All text-books and books of reference can be purchased at the
< Sollege. students will have access to a large and choice library in
which will be found all the English periodicals of value devoted to
the interests of the Veterinarian, as well as the most valuable in
the French and German languages.
The course occupies two years. Sessions begin in March and
continue till the latter part of November, with a vacation of two
weeks in July. At the close of each term, examinations will be
given on the subjects taught during the term. These examinations
will be final, with the exception of the following subjects: viz.,
anatomy, materia medica, therapeutics, and veterinary medicine
and surgery, On the last named branches the student must pass
an examination at the end of his course. The method of examina-
tion will largely be under the control of the Professor in charge,
but in every ease will be such as to give ample proof as to the
efficiency of the candidate.
Candidates for admission must be at least sixteen years of age,
Before entering the classes they [must pass an examination in
reading, orthography, geography, grammar, and arithmetic. Can-
didates for graduation must be eighteen years of age or over; must
have completed the entire course of study, and attained a standing
of seventy-live per cent in all the studies pursued; and finally shall
present an acceptable thesis upon some subject approved by the
Faculty. A graduation. fee of live dollars will be required.

and provided and furnished a kitchen for the use of the class. For
the last two years, therefore, lessons in plain cooking have been
given to the Junior ladies, together with lectures on such topics as
" House Furnishing," " Care of the Sick," " Management of Help,"

forms a part of the course in Domestic Economy.
Our facilities were still further increased last spring by the
addition of a laundry, wherein the ladies of the Sophomore class
learn to wash and iron. During March and April two afternoons
a week are spent in this laundry, under the careful supervision of
competent teachers. During May and June lessons are given
twice a week in plain sewing, the use of sewing-machines, and
dress-making. From the first of* August to the last of October
the class is instructed in Cookery. Each student is required to do
the work explained in every lesson, so that when the course is fin-

SCHOOL OF LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE.
PROF. WYNN AND MISS SINCLAIR
The literary course opens with Rhetoric as a full study in the
first term of the Freshman year. It is made optional with Latin
and German; the Rhetoric being finished up with the first term;
Latin and German continuing throughout the Freshman year.
The design is. with the aid of the most competent text-book we
can find, to require as much original work in grammatical purity,
principles, choice and use of words, kinds of composition, etc., as
the time of the classes will permit. Xo pains are spared to illus-
trate the main excellencies of style in the works of the great
masters who have written in the mother tongue, and in this way
to make this study a fitting prepartion for English Literature which
is to follow.
A course in History has been planned for the the Ladies' course in
t lie Sophomore first term. The aim here will be, instead or run-
ning over Universal History in a dry text-book fashion, to take
hold of some fruitful epoc in the ages, and develop it, the student
furnishing the result of his own researches along a line of refer-
ences indicated in the lecture-room.
The first term of the Junior year is occupied with English
Literature proper. It is a full study and open to all courses
except the Mechanical and Civil Engineering. As there is but one
term devoted to this, and it is impossible in so brief a space to
become familiar with the whole history of the English mind, from
the days of the Anglo-Saxon Conquest down to the present time,
a similar method will be pursued here as in Universal History,
—sonic specially productive era being selected, and the student
required, under the guide of an outline furnished in the lecture-
room, to sum up investigations of his own in the literary, social,
and religions influences prevailing at that time and giving charac-
ter to the great master-pieces which were then produced. At this
of the student's progress, the library becomes his laboratory,
and care will be taken that the necessary hooks of reference will
he furnished to his hand.
The literary course closes with the Science of Language in the
id term of the Senior year. Wwe the student, keeping in the
ScJiools. <>.")
main close to sonic competent text-book, seeks to discover the
underlying laws of language, making that subtle instrument,
which is to be his means of conveying his intellectual life and
power to his fellows, the object of his study, with the view to
determining the origin, history, growth, decay, and ethic relations
of all the languages on t lie fare of the earth, and settling, in so far
as that may he done, the relation of language to thought. As lead-
ing out to Psychology in one direction, to ethnology in another,
and to comparative mythology in another, it is replete with inter-
est, and has a fascination that entitles it to a crowning place in
the course.
LATIN.
One year's course in Latin is provided, — a full study during the
first and second terms of the Freshman year. The design is simply
to meet the practical necessities of the scientific curriculum that
prevails here. A brief preparatory drill introduces the student to
Caesar, after reading carefully two books, he enters Virgil's
iEneid and continues in it to the end of the year. The Boman
pronunciation is adopted. Allen & Greenough's text-books are
used, and the most advanced methods of imparting instruction are
diligently sought for and practiced.
FRENCH AND GERMAN.
Iii the present course each of these languages is regarded as a
means to an end, and not as an end in itself. Each is therefore
pursued as an art rather than a science, and consequently the nat-
ural or empirical method of instruction has a more prominent
place than the scientific. By combining the two methods in this
manner, better practical results are obtained than would be possi-
ble in the same time by following either method exclusively. In
the study of either French or German the students are expected,
from the beginning, to use the language in the class-room as far as
possible.
The study of German has been introduced as optional with
Latin and Rhetoric in the Freshman year. It is not claimed that
anything but a rudimental knowledge of the language can be
acquired in the allotted time, but special effort is made to render
this knowledge practical and to make it the basis for future attain-
ment. An energetic and persevering student gains by one year's
through application, a knowledge of German which, though limited,
may still be of great practical use. Otto's Conversation Grammar
is used as a text-book during the first term.
The course in French occupies the last three terms of the courses

in Mechanical and Civil Engineering and the Ladies' Course. The
chief object in view in not an exhaustive and critical knowledge
of the grammar of the language, but as high a degree of its prac-
tical mastery as is attainable in the time. Much time is therefore
given to reading, in order to familiarize the student with different
styles of writing and to give facility in translating. In both
French and German the much neglected art of understanding the
spoken language receives particular attention. For acquiring
the necessary knowledge of inflections and for reference, Keetel's
Collegiate French Course is used.
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS.
PROFS. STANTON AND MACOMBER.
The course of instruction in Pure Mathematics pre-supposes a
thorough knowledge of Arithmetic and the elementary principles
of Algebra. It occupies three years for its completion, and
embraces:
Freshman Year. — First term— Algebra, Loomis' Treatise; sec-
ond term— Plane, Solid, and Spherical Geometry, Loomis.
Sophomore Year.— First term— Trigonometry, Chauvenet;
second term — Analytical Geometry, Church.
Junior Year. — First term — Differential and Integral Calculus,
Buckingham; second term — Calculus and Philosophy ofJMathe-
matics.
During the Freshman year the studies of this department are
common to all the College courses. Trigonometry is required of
ladies desiring to pursue higher mathematics; it is* a regular
study in the other courses. Analytical Geometry and Calculus are
regular studies in both the Engineering courses, optional with
Chemistry in the Ladies' course, and may be taken by such students
in the Course in Sciences related to Agriculture as obtain an aver-
age standing of 3.75 in the st udiesof Hie first term of the Sophomore
year. Advanced Calculus and the Philosophy of Mathematics are
Studied by Students in the special course in Mathematics and
Physics.
Algebra. In Algebra there will be two divisions. The first of
these will be composed of students who show by their entrance
filiations thoroughness in Arithmetic and a ready familiarity

with tlic principles of Algebra through Equations of the First De-
gree; the other will include all students obtaining ;i high standing
in Arithmetic and passing the required examination in Algebra, but
show in this latter study a want of thoroughness. Particular atten-
tion will be given in this study to the explanation of the cardinal
principles, and the drill in the solution of problems and equations
will be conducted with reference to fixing these principles in the
minds of the students. The first division will complete the subject
in fourteen weeks; the other will devote to its study the entire term.
Geometry. — All students securing a standing of three (four being
perfect) in either of the divisions in Algebra will be permitted to
enter the class in Geometry. This class will be divided into two
divisions, corresponding to those in Algebra. The first division
will give to the study of Plane, Solid, and Spherical Geometry the
last lour weeks of the first, and all of the second term of the Fresh-
man jear, while the other division will devote to the same subject
the eighteen weeks of the second term. In this class the student
is early taught the full meaning of a Geometrical demonstration.
Be Is warned against the danger of learning the proposition by
rote; and in order that he may not fall into this error, is, at the
endjof the^first book, assigning original theorems, which he is
required to demonstrate. He is expected not only to thoroughly
understand each proposition, but to be able to so arrange and
present the points of the proof as to perform a complete and per-
fect demonstration.
Trigonometry. — Instruction is given in this branch during the
first nine weeks of the first term of the Sophomore year, by Pro-
Beal. The class is thoroughly drilled in the nature and use
of the Trigonometrical functions.
Analytical Geo metry — This study is pursued by the Sophomore
class during the second term. The course of instruction embraces
Determinate and Indeterminate Geometry, including a full exam-
ination of the Conicj-Sections. The underlying principles are
brought prominently forward and discussed. The students are
required tojearefully analyze each article, and solve the prob-
lems connected therewith. To secure thoroughness frequent
reviews are given.
Calculus.— Instruction in Calculus is given during the spring
term of the .Junior year. To enter this class it is necessary that
the student should have passed the lower mathematical studies of
the course. In no case can the study be pursued successfully with-
out previous drill in Analytical Geometry. Buckingham's Calcu-
lus is used as a text-book. The abstruse principles of this method

of mathematical investigation are explained upon the theory of
rates, rather than upon the theory of infinitesimals. Instruction
is given by daily recitations and lectures, with a review each Fri-
day, of the week's work. Twelve weeks are devoted to Integral,
and the remainder of the term to Differential, Calculus.
Advanced Calculus and the Philosophy of Mathematics.— Stu-
dents in the Special Course in Mathematics and Physics will
continue the study of Calculus during a greater portion of the
Junior year. A large number of problems illustrating the differ-
ent forms into which differentials must be thrown in order to
obtain the integrals, will be solved. The object aimed at will be
to make the student so familiar with the principles of the science
and the methods of procedure as to enable him to apply the com-
plicated machinery of Calculus to practical use. In the latter
part of the term lectures will be given on the Philosophy of
Mathematics.
PHYSICS.
Students commence this study in the Sophomore year and com-
plete it at the close of the Junior year. The study is conducted by
means of lectures, and recitations from the text-book, illustrated
throughout by numerous experiments. During the first term of
the Sophomore year a course of lectures on mechanics, the mechan-
ical powers, and the laws of motion, is given. Also, the general
subject of the Mechanics of solids, liquids, and gases, is studied
from the text-book. Sound and Light are studied during the
second term. Especial attention is given to geometrical Optics
and the theory of optical instruments. The first term of the
Junior year is taken up in the study of Heat and Magnetism.
Electricity and Meteorology complete the course during the last
term. Especial attention is given to the later discoveries in Elec-
tricity and Magnetism. Dynamo-electric machines, the electric
light, and all the more recent discoveries and applications of
electricity arc fully considered. The course is completed by a
number of lectures on the recent advances in physical science, in
which such topics as, The Conservation of Energy, The Correlation
<>r the Physical Forces, The Theory of Machines, Relation of Vital
to Physical Forces,and The Dissipation of Energy, are discussed.
Libera] appropriations were early made for a Cabinet of physical
apparatus, and as addition's are made to it every- year the depart-
ment is tolerably well supplied with facilities for illustrating the
more prominent subjects in Physics. Among other prominent
pieces Of apparatus might he mentioned a huge imported Holtz

pictures for lecture work; one of Ritchie's best air pumps; with
the necessary apparatus for experiments on Pneumatics; Melloni's
apparatus for radiant heat; and other instruments for studying
mechanics, optics, and sound, too numerous to attempt a mention of
them. The original cost of the Cabinet amounts to about four
thousand live hundred dollars. Ganot's Physics is used as a text-
book.
The Physical Laboratory is supplied with gas and water in
abundance, and is heated by steam. The lecture room has its seats
arranged so that a class of one hundred and iifty can see the ex-
periments to the best advantage. An advanced course which
occupies the Senior year, is offered to students who desire it. Such
as choose this course are required to spend from two to three after-
noons per week in the Laboratory. They will be occupied in
advanced work in Optics, Electricity, and Magnetism, and will
receive lectures on the elements of physical manipulation and
methods of research.

analyze correetly inorganic substances. Writing chemical reac-
tions and solvinpfproblems form an important part of the class
work. Three recitations a week are held in the first term and two
in the second— laboratory work two afternoons a week during the
year.
In the Junior year students commence by analyzing qualitatively,
pure[chemicals, and as soon as they have acquired sufficient skill
analyze paints, alloys, minerals, cast iron, water, etc. The second
term's work in the laboratory is a continuation of the first, and
includes also organic analyses embracing such substances as hay,
milk, uric'acid, sugar, etc. The class work in the first term con-
sists principally jn working out methods of analyses suitable for
compounds whose composition is given. During the second term
organic chemistry is studied. Three afternoons a week are required
for, laboratory work during the first term and two during the
second, but the laboratory is open all day and as each student has a
separate desk he can spend as much extra time in the laboratory
as his studies permit. The ladies' course during the first term is
nearly the same, m the second they have one lecture a week on
domestic chemistiy.
In the Senior year, first term, lectures are given on agricultural
chemistry embracing such topics as chemistry of soils and plants,
manures, forces, etc.; second term, on foods for domestic animals.
In the special course in chemistry, students are permitted to drop
one]of the specified studies, (see page 48), and devote twice the usual

BOTANY.
All students in the second term of the Freshman year begin the
study of Elementary Botany. By means of lectures twice a week,
with illustrations from fresh specimens, the student easily masters
all the more important facts relating to the general or gross anat-
omy of plants.
During the first term of the Sophomore year the students in all
the departments pursue the study of Systematic Botany. They
are expected to analyze and classify a sufficient number of plants
so as to familiarize themselves with the more important orders
and the principles of classification. Each student is required to
prepare not less than fifty herbarium specimens, which are sub-
mitted for examination at the end of the term.
The higher course in Botany begins with Economic Botany in
the second term of the Sophomore year. The origin history and
and relationship of cultivated plants, together with a discussion
of the value and relative importance of the timber trees of the
world are taken up in a course of twenty-five lectures. Also the weeds
of the farm and garden, with suggestions as to their eradication
are discussed at some length, and the rudiments of Medical
Botany are introduced as occasion demands.
In the first part of the Junior year, students who take the higher
course in Botany pursue the study of Vegetable Anatomy and
Physiology, reciting four hours a week from the text-book, and
spending in addition, one afternoon each week in the laboratory.
About half the term is given to this study, and, if the student is
faithful and earnest in his work, he cannot fail to obtain a fair
knowledge of the structure and mode of growth and nutrition of
plants, as understood by modern Vegetable Physiologists.
The remaining ^portion of the term is devoted to lectures upon
Cryptogamic Botany, in which the student is familiarized with
the structure and principles of classification of the lower orders of
plants. The lectures are supplemented by a course of laboratory

work, which includes an examination of typical and other impor-
tant forms. The parasitic Fungi are studied and dwelt upon to a
considerable extent, in accordance with the growing idea of their
importance in Agriculture, Horticulture, and the industrial arts.
The means of investigation throughout the course are: (1) the
College Herbarium: (2) a collection of billets of various kinds of
woods: (:}) a collection of grasses: (4) a collection of cones
of evergreens; (5; a set of diagrams and charts; ((>) eleven
compound microscopes, (with Hartnack's, Tolies', and Beck's
objectives); (7) alcoholic and dry material for examination in the
Botanical Laboratory: (s) students also have access to the collec-
tions of mosses, lichens, and fungi belonging to the professor.
ZOOLOGY.
This course is begun in the second term of the Freshman year
by the study of Descriptive Zoology in which are discussed the
external form, outward relation, and geographical distribution of
the various members of the animal kingdom. In the first term of
the Sophomore year the general subject of Comparative Zoology is
taken up. including the principles of classification and the true
relations of the different parts of the animal creation, with a con-
sideration of their more important physiological functions. The
second term of this year is devoted to a special consideration of
the different animals, more particularly those which possess an
economic interest. Following this plan the greater portion of the
term is occupied with the subject of Entomology; special attention
being paid to those insects which have proved injurious to the
tanner and gardener. Their life-history, as far as known, is
examined and the various remedies and checks that have been
found efficacious are suggested. Jn addition to the class-room
work of this year, each student is required to collect, prepare, and
identify a certain number of specimens from some department of
the animal kingdom. These specimens are then deposited in the
museum. During the last term of the year, the student spends
one afternoon (or three hours) Of each week ill the study and
identification of specimens in the laboratory.
In the second term of the Junior year the study of Comparative
Aii;itoin\ is taken up in a, course of lectures extending through
tie- whole term. The general and special facts of Biology and
the anatomical structure of the various organisms, are dis-
ed with as much minuteness of detail as the time will admit,
followed b\ ;i i(siiiiu of the subject in which the evolution of the
different 8) stems of organs is t raced from their earliest beginnings

to their most differentiated forms. The whole is supplemented by
a short course upon Embryology in which the development of the
ovum is traced and compared with (hose forms already discussed.
During this term the student spends one afternoon in each week
in the laboratory in the dissection and study of typical forms of
the animal phylla.
The library to which the students have access every day has a,
fair supply of honks bearing upon these topics, among which are
the following: "Harris" Insects"; Carpenter's "Comparative
Physiology"; Owen's "Comparative Anatomy"; Gegenbaur's
"Comparative Anatomy": Huxley's "Anatomy of the Inverte-
brata," Darwin's "Origin of Species," "Descent of Man," and
" Variation of Plants and Animals Under Domestication." Jordan's
"Manual of the Vertebrates of North America" is used for
identifying specimens.
Ample facilities will be afforded to students who may wish
to pursue any special line of Zoological or Anatomical research.
The Museum occupies a large room on the third floor of the
smith wing of the main building. It includes mounted specimens
of a few mammals; several hundred birds (mounted), representing
the avian fauna of the state; a large collection of reptiles, in
alcohol; a few fishes; and a small but typical collection of inver-
tebrates. A set of the "Ward Models," illustrating the principal
larger fossils, and a cabinet of mineralogical specimens, are of
service in the study of Geology. There are, besides, the following
collections in the process of formation: A seed collection; an
entomological cabinet; sets of the eggs and nests of birds; the
brains of vertebrates; skulls of mammals; and skeletons of
vertebrates.
During the second term of the College year, the museum room is
used ;is a laboratory, in which the students in Zoology make a
direct study of the specimens. Tables and chairs enough to
accommodate twenty students at once, are provided, and the room
is open three afternoons a week for work.
Visitors are admitted to the museum every afternoon from one
to five o'clock.

Freshman Year.— Second term, Moral Science.
Junior Year. — Second term, Political Economy.
Senior Year. — First term, Psychology; second term, Philoso-
phy of Science, Sociology, and Science of Language.
MORAL SCIENCE.
The Freshman class engages in the study of Moral Science, recit-
ing three days a week' during the fall term. Peabody's Moral
Science is used, and the subject is illustrated by abundant concrete
examples.
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Iii this division of Social Science are taught, by text-book, famil-
iar lectures, and discussion, the laws of labor — its products and
their cost; the principles of capital, money, foreign trade, tariff,
taxation, and all the influences that quicken or retard exchange.
The student thus gains a thorough acquaintance with the scientfic
dala that underly and regulate industry. He becomes intelligent,
moreover, in all questions of public policy respecting which
there is such a wide diversity of opinion.
PSYCHOLOGY.
In the study of Psychology we aim to avoid all those questions
which the discussion of centuries has failed to solve and which
consequently have no bearing either on human conduct or a
knowledge of human nature. The object sought by the student in
this study is to gain a systematic acquaintance with the phenom-
ena of thought, feeling, and volition; to get an insight, clear as
may he, into the workings of his own mind, its modes of action,
it- limits, its means and order of growth from sense to reasoning.
\<» real progress in Psychology can be made except through the
revelations of consciousness. The student must attain the difficult
art of rightly scrutinizing his own mental states and modes of

SOCIOLOGY.
The remaining portion of the Senior year is given to a rapid^sur-
vey of the fundamental principles of Sociology. This survey will
comprise the data of the science, namely the feelings, ideas and
wants of man, the primitive condition of the human race — its
superstitions, erroneous beliefs, and the impulses by which savage
tribes struggled up into civilized nations. A brief account will
also be given of the origin and growth of government, law, science,
religion, industry, and art. The object sought is simply to lay the
foundation for future acquisitions.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
AND ARCHITECTURE.
PROFS. THOMSON AND SMITH.
The College aims by the studies pursued in the School of Mechan-
ical Engineering to lay a foundation of sound theory sufficiently
comprehensive to enable its graduates to enter understandingly on
the further investigations of the problems which may arise in the
several departments of their professional work. It further aims
to teach the student such skill and dexterity in the use of tools
and machinery as to enable him not only to properly design, but
Tti Towa Agricultural College.
also if necessary to construct, any machinery which the develop-
ment of the mechanic aits may require; shop-practice is therefore
included in the course. The workshop is fitted up with vises, tools,
and machinery for the purpose of enabling the teacher to give
instruction according to the most approved methods of modern
practice. This work is carried through the Freshman and Junior
years, and may be pursued in the Senior year in connection with
designing and drawing. The leading studies are as follows:
Geometrical and Projection Drawing \ — This is carried on with
and is subservient to the work done in the shops.
Descriptive Geometry . — This subject is taught by the Professor
of Civil Engineering, for which see Civil Engineering.
Principles of Mechanism. — Treats of mechanism in general;
rolling contact : sliding contact; wrapping connectors; trains of
elementary combinations; general principles of aggregate velocity;
combinations for producing aggregate paths or motion in space;
adjustments; properties of friction; butting friction; twisting-
friction; friction wheels ; coil friction ; universal joints.
Analytical Mechanics. — This subject is taught by the use of text-
book and lectures, and embraces all the subjects which are deemed
appropriate and profitable to the student in the Civil and Mechan-
ical Engineering courses.
A'* sistan.ee of Materials. — This embraces experimental work, and
results found by other experimenters, from which are deduced the
laws ami coefficients of elasticity ; work of elongation, and time of
oscillation; set, viscosity, modulus of strength; safe limits of
loading; tension and compression; strength of columns; shocks;
crystallization and practical formulas.
Prime Movers. — The indicator as applied to the steam engine;
tlir us.- of brakes and dynamometers; to proportion fly-wheels so
that their velocity shall deviate from a mean velocity by a given
amount; measurement of a source of water power; water power
engines; water pressure engines; impulse of water on vanes;
turbine water wheels ; combustion of fuel, efficiency of furnace;
principles of thermo-dynamics ; air engines; steam engines; fur-
naces and boilers. The student is also required to take indicator
diagrams, and from them calculate the power of engines with
Bteam working ai different degrees of expansion, the diagrams
being taken from different engines.
Machint Drawing. Complete working and detailed drawings
lor use in i In- shops; drawings of original designs, finished in
wider colors and b\ line shading; designs and estimates for
machinery.
Schools. . 77
ARCHITECTURE.
Architecture is now a branch of the School of Mechanical Engi-
aeering and is intended to be supplementary to the instruction
given in architects' offices. It aims to supply a thorough knowledge
of the history of the art, of building processes and materials, of
scientific construction, and of composition and design. The tech-
nical studies begin with the first term of the Junior year, and are
comprised under the following heads:
Eleur nts of Architect are. — The five orders and their applications ;
arches; vaults: roofs; domes; spires; doors and windows; stairs.
History of Architecture. — The general history of Greece and of
(Jreek art: Roman history and art; mediaeval and modern history
and art.
Scientific Construction.— Foundations, brick-work, stone-work;
theory of the arch; strength of pillars and walls.
Specifications and Working Drawings. — Masonry; carpentry ;
plumbing; iron- work and ventilation; details and dimensions;
estimates.
Theory of Architecture. — Ornamentation etc.
Drawing and Design. — Free-hand drawing; tinting; solution of
architectural problems: original design.
Books of Reference.— Fergusson's History of Architecture, Tred-
gold's Carpentry, Jones' Grammar of Ornament, Viollet le Due's
Disc >urses on Architecture, Gwilt's Encyclopedia of Architecture.
In connection with this course of study the same amount of
shop-practice will be required as in the Mechanical Engineering
course, and will include the use of tools and wood-working
machinery, the construction of problems in stair-building and
joinery, and such other work as may arise in the repairing and
construction of buildings on the grounds.
7^ Iowa Agricultural College.
SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING.
PROF. BEAT,.
The basis of this course of study is laid by a systematic drill in
Algebra and Geometry during- the Freshman year. In the Sopho-
more year, first term, Plane Trigonometry and Land Surveying are
taught in the class room, and the latter is supplemented by work
in the field where the student becomes acquainted with all the man-
ual portions of the business, and acquires proficiency in the use of
the chain, compass, transit, and other instruments. Notes are kept
of the data taken as in actual work and Prom these the areas are
calculated and the fields platted. In the second term Descriptive
Geometry, Spherical Trigonometry, and Analytical Geometry are
begun and the latter finished, having five recitations per week
during the whole term. In the former, two recitations or lectures
arc given, in addition to which the student prepares twenty
plates of drawings, each consisting of some special graphical prob-
lem which involves one or more of the general problems of
Descriptive Geometry. By this means Mechanical Drawing is
practiced at the same time that its underlying science is studied.
Spherical Trigonometry occupies one exercise per week throughout
the whole term.
[n the .Junior year the course becomes more strictly technical.
During the first term the various met hods of laying out railway
carves, putting in switches and side-tracks, and setting slope-
stakes, are taught together with the principles of the construction
of water works, sewers, retaining wails, and other combined
structures. As nearly as possible all the problems investigated in
the class-room are taken into the field and staked out upon the
ground. Data are also taken for problems in earth work, both
excavation and embankment, and the cubic contents calculated.
In pure mathematics, Calculus is taught during the term, there
being five recitations per week. Descriptive Geometry is contin-
ued in much the same manner as before, only dealing with the
•i- problems of Stereotomy, Shades, Shadows and Perspective,
and I iomel lie. About t went \ plates of drawings are prepared.
In tin- second lei in Analytical Mechanics and the Strength of
Materials occupy five recital ions per week. During this term, also,
a practice Blirvej of a portion of a, line of railway is undertaken,
Schools. 7i>
and the engineering of the work carried as far as is possible with-
out the actual construction. The line is run, the curves put in, the
profile taken, the grades determined upon, and it is then cross-sec-
tioned and left ready for the contractor. The notes of the work
arc kept exactly as in actual practice, and from them a profile and
plan arc drawn, including, also, the more important topographical
features of the adjoining lands.
A course in Astronomy is included in the department in this
term. It is partly descriptive and partly mathematical, extending
as far in the latter as the determination of latitudes and longitudes
and the laying out of a true north and south line by observing the
meridian transit of a star.
Dining theSenior year the student devotes himself to the higher
problems of Engineering, such as the strength and stability of
arches and suspension bridges, the construction of bridge and roof
trusses and girders, and the laying of foundations. A portion of
this year also is given to the designing of structures and calcula-
tions of their strength, with detailed drawings of the same: in a
word, the office-work of a constructing engineer.
The department is well-furnished with field instruments, con-
sisting of two transits, two levels, one compass, chains, tapes, rods,
poles, etc. The text-books used are Gillespie's Land Surveying,
Ilenck's Field Book for Engineers, Wood on Roof and Bridge
Trusses, Stoney on Strains, Allen on Dock Walls; while many
others of a similar character are kept in the library for reference.

HISTORICAL.
In 1858 the Legislature of Iowa passed an act to' establish an
Agricultural College for the purpose of giving a higher education
to the industrial classes. By the same act means were provided
for the selection of a farm, the location of college buildings, and
for experimentation in agriculture. In 1859 a farm of six hundred
and forty acres, situated in Story county, near Ames, was selected
and purchased for the use of the College. In 1862a hill was passed"
by Congress donating public lands to the several states for the
endowment of Colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the
mechanic arts. Section 4 of this act requires :
" That all moneys derived from the sale of the lands aforesaid
by the states to which the lands are apportioned, and from the sale
«»f land-scrip hereinbefore provided for, shall be invested in stocks
of the. United States, or of the states, or some other safe stocks,
yielding not less than five per centum upon the par value of said
stocks; and that the money so invested shall constitute a perpetual
fund, the capital of which shall remain forever undiminished, (ex-
cept so far as may be provided in section fifth of this act), and the
interest of which shall be inviolably appropriated by each state,
which may take and claim the benefit of this act, to the endow-
ment, support and maintenance of at least one college, where the
leading object shall be. without excluding other scientific and clas-
sical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches
of Learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic ails, in
such manner as the legislatures of the states may prescribe, in
older to promote the liberal and practical education of the indus-
trial (dasses in the several pursuits and professions of life."'
The Ninth General Assembly accepted the grant upon the con-
ditions and under the restrictions contained in the act of Congress,
and required the Governor to appoint an agent to select and locate
the lands granted.
The State law requires that Hie following branches shall be
taught, (Section 1H21 of the (-ode.)
" The course of instruction and practice in said College shall
include tin' following blanches. Natural Philosophy, Chemistry,
20 Iowa Agricultural College.
Botany, Horticulture, Fruit-growing, Forestry. Animal and Vege-
table Anatomy, Geology, Mineralogy, Meteorology, Entomology,
Zoology, the Veterinary Art, Plane Mensuration, Leveling, Sur-
veying. Book-keeping, and such Mechanic arts as are directly con-
nected with agriculture; also, such other studies as the trustee's
may from time to time pi-escribe not inconsistent with the purposes
of this chapter/'
The (College was formally opened on the 17th of March. ]8<>«».
It will, consequently, at the close of the present term complete its
thirteenth year.
LOCATION.
The College occupies a pleasant and healthful location, one and
a half miles west of the town of Ames, on the Chicago and North-
western Railway, in "the central county of the state (Story), and
thirty miles north of the city of Pes Moines. The railroad facili-
ties for reaching Ames from any part of the state are very good.
Regular conveyances for passengers and baggage run between the
station and the College, three times each day,

for the use of the nursery propagating department. A grafting
room and propagating house are attached, heated with hot-water
pipes.
Imrii Agricultural College.
South Hall is a two-story brick building provided with ample
cellars. It has been refitted for a Boarding Hall and for the
department of Domestic Economy.
The Fa km House is a plain, substantial, brick building, occu-
pied by the Professor of Agriculture, Three other dwelling
houses 1 11 u u i the college grounds arc occupied by professoi's
families.
The College Creamery is a low frame building, just east of
the farm house. The farm barns are adjacent. — one of brick, for
horses, and one large frame barn in the basement of which is a
stable for one hundred head of cattle. The feeding barn 52 by 56
feet, and the piggery 36 by 96 feet are models of handiness. Both
occupy sites east of the other farm buildings.
The Work-shop, Laundry and Gas-works are some distance
back of the Main College building. The work-shop is a two-story
frame building, lifted up with machinery and tools for the prose-
cution of repairs and for instruction in mechanical work.
THE COLLEGE GROUNDS.
The College Farm includes 860 acres, and of this about seventy
acres are set apart for the College Grounds. These occupy the
high land of the southwest part of the farm, and include a large
lawn, shrubbery plantations, young forestry plantations, the flower
borders and garden, with the surroundings of the professor's dwell-
ing houses. Excellent gravel drives and walks have been laid
down, leading to all parts of the grounds, and to the various build-
ings.

ORGANIZATION.
The branches of learning, taught in the College are arranged
under several courses of study, which are distinguished as General
and Technical. Under the tirst. the
Coursi iii /In Sciences Related to the Industries, aims to give a lib-
eral culture in the sciences and other branches of learning, which
underlie the great industries of the country, without especially con-
fining it to aiiy particular pursuit or profession. The technical
courses, while giving a liberal culture, aim to direct that culture
so as to meet the requirements of a special pursuit or profession.
The technical courses, which have been fully established are the
following:
1. The Course in Agriculture, which requires four *years of study
and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Scientific Agriculture,
B. S. A.):
2. The Course in Mechanical Engineering, of four years, and
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering,
(B. M. E.):
3. The Course in Civil Engineering, ot four years, leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Civil Engineering, (B. C. E.):
4. Tlie Course in Veterinary Science, two years in length, leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine, (B. V. M.)
The technical courses are arranged under schools having spec-
ial Faculties.
The relation of the several courses to one another may be more
readily shown as follows:

In addition to the foregoing, there are certain lines of technical
and scientific study which include either a single prominent sci-
ence or several closely related ones, which may be pursued exclu-
sively by students properly qualified. These, however, do not lead
to any degree, and any student completing the studies of any such
line may receive the College Certificate showing his standing in
such studies.
These lines of studies are designated as follows: 1. Domestic
Economy. 2. Military Science. 8. Literature and Language. 4.

COURSE IN SCIENCES RELATED TO THE
INDUSTRIES.
The purpose of this Course is to give a scientific training in the
branches which are related to the industries, and to furnish a lib-
eral and practical education for young men and women in the sev-
eral pursuits and professions of life.
The course consists of the required antecedent studies in the
Freshman year and the first term of the Sophomore year, of the
general branches pursued in the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
years, and of the natural and physical sciences which predominate
throughout.
As this course is taken by students of both sexes it is given a
considerable degree of flexibility to meet the wants of each. This
is accomplished by means of certain " additional studies," which
have been carefully selected for their value to the student. This
course thus provides for the young women of the college opportu-
nities for devoting more time to Domestic Economy and kindred
subjects, while the young men are permitted to give more atten-
tion to those applications of science which are of more especial
value to them.
For the purpose of enabling students of the Junior and Senior
classes in this course to attain a high degree of proficiency in some
branches of science, the Faculty permit a choice of certain studies
and the omission of others. The special studies now provided for
in this way are Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Mathematics and
Physics, and Veterinary Science.
GRADUATION WD THE DEGREE.
The graduate of this course is entitled to thedegree of Bachelor
of Science. The candidate for graduation must have secured a
standing of at least three, (four being perfect,) in all the studies
(not optional) of the subjoined list, and must present a final thesis
as required by college law.

MEANS AND METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE.
This school has been organized as one of the divisions of col-
lege work, to meet the wants of such pupils as desire an extended
course in the sciences which underlie Agriculture, with special
reference to their practical application in the diversified indus-
tries of the farm. Particular attention is paid to the problem of
economical production and to the reduction of farm improvement
and management to a science which shall eliminate, as far as prac-
ticable, elements of uncertainty, and foster well defined principles
of assured success. In this special line of instruction it is the pur-
pose to evolve the science in agriculture as distinct from pure
skill and from the sciences relating to agriculture. This course
includes four year's of college work, and for breadth and thorough-
ness of instruction is in every way equal to the other courses
offered the student. The distinctive work of the school is divided
into two departments. Agriculture and Horticulture.
AGRICULTURE.
During the first term, Freshman year, the descriptive zoology of
our domestic animals is taught two days per week, with lessons
upon the management of stock and its comparative value for the
farm. Full illustrations of this branch can be found in the large
variety of grade and thoroughbred stock on the College farm.
In the second term, instruction in the Dairy is given three
days per week, during which the following topics are discussed in
a practical way: Essential Points of the Dairy Tow; the best
Breeds and Crosses; Food and Management; Milk, its constituents
and. Tts Value for Food; Practical Dairying; The Manufacture of
Butter and Cheese by the Most approved Methods. To illustrate
and demonstrate the various problems, there is upon the farm a
daiiy of seventy cows, composed of pure Shorthorns, Ilolsteins
and Jerseys, and grades of the same breeds. The dairy barn is
ample for eighty cows, and with facilities for storing food and
making experiments upon a corresponding scale. The Cream-
ery is a substantial structure, with a full supply of improved ap-
paratus.
The auxiliary studies pursuod during the Freshman year are
Algebra, Geometry, Rhetoric, Botany. Zoology. Book-keeping,
Drawing and Composition.
Towa Agricultural College. 51
During the Sophomore year the supporting studies. Botany,
Chemistry, Zoology, Physics and Mathematics are pursued. In
the second term Stock-B reeding is taught, three lessons per
week, and a course of lectures is given upon the laws of heredity
and their application in the breeding of farm stock.
It is believed thai few institutions possess such complete facili-
ties for illustration in this department as can.be found in the thor-
oughly systematic divisions of improved stock, horses, cattle,
sheep and swine, upon the College farm.
In the Junior year first term a very important course of lectures
will be given upon Fa km Economy, including detailed plans and
methods of farm investment and improvement, the limit of
profitable expenditures in buildings, fences and labor, the prob-
lems of increasing the ratio of income to the investment, etc.; and
in the second term "How Plants Feed and Grow," will be taught,
with particular reference to our peculiar soil and climate. During
the year the relating studies. Physics, Vegetable Physiology, Land-
scape Gardening and Farm Engineering will be pursued; also the
following general branches. English Literature, Political Economy
and Commercial Law.
The special studies pursued in the Senior year are Experimental
Agriculture, Agricultural Chemistry, Veterinary Science and
lectures on food, which cover a domain of knowledge of great
practical value . They enable the student to understand soils,
cereals, grasses, fertilizers, improved machinery and methods of
cultivation; the anatomy, physiology and food of the domestic
animals. These intensely practical blanches are balanced by the
study of Geology, Mineralogy, Psychology and the Philosophy of
Science.
HORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY.
These studies form a part of the regular course in Agriculture.
singly and alone the time allotted to this technical line of study
and practice could accomplish little more than to make the student
familiar with some of the leading modes and methods of empirical
gardening, considered mainly as a mere art. Supported, however
by the full course in natural sciences, the routine of Horticultural
operations rises above the level of unreasoning custom to the
rank of applied science. The cultivated plant becomes a thing of
life, varied in vitality, habit of growth, and fruitfulness by condi-
tions of soil and air more or less under control.
The course begins with the second term of the Freshman year.
No text book will be used. Instruction will be imparted by seas-
52 Iowa Agricultural College.
onable lectures on the elementary principles of propagation and
management of trees, shrubs and plants in garden and field, with
object lessons and practice. In connection the lectures of Prof .
Bessey, on Elementary Botany and Vegetable Physiology will
prove important aids.
The studies of the Sophomore year, second term, in Botany.
Vegetable Anatomy, Chemistry. Physics, Entomology. et<\. lit the
class in the first term of* the Junior year for the intelligent con-
sideration of the varied topics presented in Barry's Fruit Garden,
as modified by our peculiar conditions of soil and air. The lessons
of* the first term will be supported by studies in vegetable anatomy,
practice in Botanical Laboratory, and Physics. During the second
term the general principles of Forestry will be taken up. Fuller's
treatise will be used as a textbook so far as it is applicable . to
prairie conditions. The concluding lectures on theoretical Horti-
culture, supported by auxiliary studies, will enable the student to
comprehend important principles pertaining to vital force, germi-
nation, root and stem growth, leaf formation and function, cli-
matic adaptation, etc.; intimately associated in our climate with
perfect failure or varied degrees of success in all Horticultural
operations.

LABOR.— To illustrate each branch and enable the student to
become familiar with methods and processes, and acquire some
skill, he is expected to engage in such labor as will best promote a
knowledge of the particular study in hand, from one to four hours
each day, according to the work assigned. The usual compensa-
tion will be allowed for the time employed.

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING.
This school includes the two departments of Mechanical Engin-
eering, and Civil Engineering, each provided with a complete
course of study.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
In the Freshman year the course of study is the same as the
Course in the Sciences Related to the Industries, except Practice
in the Workshop and the study of Drawing, and Workshop Tools
and Appliances; the former occupies three forenoons of two and a
half hours each, per week, the latter one hour two afternoons per
week. The workshop practice is of a general character; it is not
pursued with a view to any particular trade or calling. Each student
is required to make a complete set of elementary forms, and to
execute a series of problems which will give a general training and
at the same time enable him to produce that excellence of finish
and correct fitting which is required in modern workmanship. In
the Sophomore year Plane Trigonometry, Land Surveying, Mathe-
matics, Physics and Chemistry constitute the leading studies, prac-
tice in the Chemical Laboratory taking the place of that in the
workshop.
The studies in the Junior year are in the line of the profession;
Principles of Mechanism, Analytical Mechanics and the Resistance
of Materials occupy rive recitations per week; throughout the
entire year, lectures and experimental work, are added as the class
advances in the different nubjects. The student determines from
experiments the laws and co-efficient of elasticity and the modulus
of strength of different materials. The work in the Mechanical
Laboratory for this year is chosen. Having in view, its usefulness to
the Mechanical Engineer.
In the Senior year the study of prime movers and thermo-dy-
namics occupy the greater part of the time: the Steam Engine by
Rankine is used as a text book. For the purpose of making tests
in this subject a fifteen-horse power, Harris Corliss Engine has a
Richard's Indicator fitted to it; a four-horse power slide-valve
engine has also the Indicator, a friction brake, and calorimeters
fitted to it. A given amount of fuel is placed in the hands of the
student, he making all the tests and determining the efficiency of
the furnace and engine. During this year at least one original de-
sign of some machine must be made, with complete working draw-
ings in detail, and at least one complete drawing furnished in line
Shading and one in water colors.

CIVIL ENGINEERING.
The basis of this course of study is laid by a systematic drill in
Algebra and Geometry during the Freshman year. In the Sopho-
more year, first term. Plain 1 Trigonometry and Land Surveying are
taught in the class room, and the latter is supplemented by work
in the held where the student becomes acquainted with all the
manual portions of the business, and acquires proficiency in the
use of the chain, compass, transit, and other instruments. Notes
are kept of the data taken as in actual work and from these the
aieas calculated and the fields platted. In the second term
Descriptive Geometry, Spherical Trigonometry, and Analytical
Geometry are begun and the latter finished, having live recitations
per week during the whole term. In the former three recitations
or lectures per week are given during the first twelve weeks, in
addition to which the student prepares twenty plates of drawings,
each consisting of some special graphical problem which involves
one or more of the general problems of Descriptive Geometry. By
this means Mechanical Drawing is practiced at the same time that
its underlying scienct is studied. Spherical Trigonometry occu-
pies three exercises per week during the last six weeks ot
the term. In this year t lie course becomes more strictly technical.
During the last term the various methods of laying out railway
curves, putting in switches and side tracks, and setting slope
stakes, are taught. As nearly as possible all the problems investi-
gated in the class room are taken into the field and staked out upon
the ground. Data are also taken for problems in earth work, both
excavation and embankment, and the cubic contents calculated.
In the Junior year Calculus is taught during the first term, there
being live recitations per week. Descriptive (Jeomety is
continued in much the same manner as before, only dealing with
the higher problems of Stereotomy, Shades. Shadows and Perspec-
tive, and Isometric Drawing. About twenty plates of drawings
are prepared. The subject of Docks and Retaining walls occupies
the first nine weeks of this term.
In the second term, Analytical Mechanics and the Strength of
Materials occupy live recitations per week. During this term
also, a practice survey of a portion of a line of railway is under-
taken and the engineering of the work carried as far as is possible
without the actual construction. The line is run, the curyes put
in, the profile taken, the grades determined upon, and then it is
cross-sectioned and left ready for the contractor. The notes of
the work are kepi exactly as in actual practice, and from them a
Towa Agricultural ( 'ollegi 55
profile and plan arc drawn. Including the more important topo-
graphical features of the adjoining lands.
Duringthe first term of the Senior year the subjectof Bridge and
Hoot' Structures is taken up and continued during the entire year,
there being five recitations per week during both terms. In con-
nection with the recitations', each student is required to make a
detailed drawing of some iron bridge in the vicinity of the College,
and. also, to make detailed drawings of two or three original de-
signs for bridge structures. Daring the second term the study of
bridge work, including trestles, cattle guards, turn tables, etc., is
continued. Sanitary Engineering is taught the last eight weeks
of the term with five recitations per week. Astronomy, as
relating to the determining of meridians, latitudes, longitudes,
local times, etc.. occupies two recitations per week for the entire
term. The general subject of Contracts Specifications, Relations
of the Engineer to the Contractor, etc., are now considered. In
all studies connected with civil Engineering it is the aim of the
department to give a thoroughly practical as well as theoretical
knowledge of the subjects taught and to fit the student for imme-
diate entrance upon the duties of an engineer.
Many of the problems involved can be but imperfectly taught
by text books alone, and to be fully mastered, must be solved in
the field. However well the student may have understood the
theoretical solution of such a problem as the laying out of a railway
curve, he will be puzzled to know what to do first, when he sets up
his transit and attempts to apply his knowledge. In land survey-
ing, for instance, the lands to be measured are not smooth, poly-
gonal planes, such as are represented on paper, but hillsides and
valleys, covered in many cases by trees and bushes, and intersected
by streams and morasses, with, borders frequently formed by the
irregular shore of a river or lake. These are the actual problems
which the student must meet, and they can only be solved where
they are found— on the ground.
But this is not all. For the purpose of education, something
more is required than simply the knowledge of how to do things:
the principles upon which the operations are based, the reasons
for the various processes involved, and even the theoretical solu-
tion of the ideal problem which is never found in nature, are all
of the highest value, and should never be omitted from a scheme
of technical education.
Iowa Agricultural College.
THE SCHOOL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE.
It is the purpose of this school to train students for practice in
the veterinary specialty of medicine. The vast proportions of the
stock interest in the West, the enormous losses that are being sus-
tained from sporadic and contagious forms of disease among domes-
tic animals, and the low standard of veterinary knowledge exist-
ing throughout the country, rendered the establishment of such a
school an imperative necessity. There is a wide and increasing
demand for thoroughly trained veterinary practitioners, and no
field for the exercise of skill and ability has been left so entiiely
unoccupied or offers stronger inducements.
The want of proper facilities for study in this department of
medical science has necessarily kept the profession far below the
position it occupies in European countries. But the extent to
which some of our important material interests are threatened by
epizootic diseases, has awakened public sentiment to the impor-
tance of providing for that sort of instruction that shall be of value
in the prevention and treatment of such diseases. A course of
study has been adopted that is in no way inferior to those of the
best English or American Colleges. The departments of instruc-
tion are well provided for and the facilities are good. These will
be especially referred to under the several departments.
Anatomy of Domestic Animals.— In this course the anatomy
of the horse will be the special object of study, but important
structural differences of other domestic animals will be carefully
noted. The lectures on anatomy will be illustrated by means of
plates, models, skeletons, and prepared specimens of all the organs.
A convenient and well-furnished dissecting-room affords the stu-
dent every facility for this important part Of anatomical work.
All dissections will be personally superintended by the Professor
in charge, or by the demonstrator; and each student will be re-
quired to make a prescribed number of dissections before he can
he eligible for final examination. The course will include one
lecture each day during the Junior year.
Zoology and Comparative Anatomy.— In the. Junior year
there are, in the first term, two recitations per week in Zoology,
dealing exclusively with [nvertebrata. During this time the stu-
dent spends one forenoon each week in the laboratory in the dis-
ced ion nl' t \ pical forms. In the second term there are four recita-
tions or lectures per week upon General Comparative Anatomy.
Towa Agricultural College. 57
Histology and Physiology.- This course embraces. 1st.—
Systematic Histology. This section deals with the minute
anatomy of the animal tissues, and is taught systematically by
lectures throughout the first term of the Senior year. 2d.— PRAC-
TICAL EIlSTOLOGY. This includes the practical study of the vari-
ous tissues of the animal bodj by the aid at' the microscope. The
various methods of preparing tissues for microscopic examination
are taught with the object of familiarizing the eye of the student
with the minute anatomy of all the tissues of the animal body.
This study is prosecuted bj the student under the immediate
supervision of the Professor. The entire course in Histology in-
cludes about eighty lectures, with six hours laboratory work per
week. The facilities in this department are excellent. The labo-
ratory is a large, well-lighted room supplied with a large number
of histological microscopes of the most approved stands, furnished
with first-class objectives. There are also large stands with high
powers for the more difficult work and for comparison.
Physiology is taken up in the first term of the second year and
is taught by lectures, recitations and demonstrations. Physiology
is carried along with Microscopical Anatomy to which it bears a
close relation. This course includes about sixty lectures. Labo-
ratory facilities are offered students who desire to engage in orig-
nal work.
General Comparative Pathology, Pathological Anat-
omy and Histology— embrace: 1st. The study of the Pathology of
the epizootic and general diseases of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs,
dogs, and other domestic animals; the natural history and peculiar-
ities of parasites with the affections to which they give rise, and
the means to be adopted in preventing and destroying them. 2d.
Pathological Anatomy and Histology. This course is full and
complete. Pathological specimens of all kinds are brought before
the class for the purpose of familiarizing the student with the ap-
pearance of diseased tissues. The relations of Pathological His-
tology to the principles of medicine and surgery [ are carefully
treated of. and the advances made in the application of the micro-
scope to exact pathology fully considered. The use of the micro-
scope in the study of pathological specimens form an important
part of the laboratory work during the last term of the Senior year.
The course in Pathology includes about eighty lectures.
Instruction in Botany — extends through one year, the stu-
dent devoting two exercises per week to this study during that
time. In the fall term of his first year the student acquaints him-
58 Iowa Agricultural College
self with general Botany, and gives some attention to the identifi-
cation of plants, and for that purpose lie joins the class in Elemen-
tary Botany in the regular college course.
In the spring term of his second year the student lakes up Med-
ical Botany in which the origin and preparation of medicines de-
rived from the vegetable kingdom are discussed and dwelt upon,
and by means of carefully selected specimens, the student is made
thoroughly familiar with their appearance.
During the course each student makes and preserves a collec-
tion of dried specimens of plants, and in this work he is required
to devote particular attention to the native and cultivated plants
which are of importance to the Veterinarian.
Chemistry.— General Chemistry embraces manipulating chem-
ical apparatus, handling and making gases, studying the properties
of different chemical elements and their compounds. Tn Qualita-
tive Analysis, the students receive chemicals, minerals, etc., and
determine the elements of which they are composed. The course
is very thorough and no student can go into the Senior year who is
unable to analyze correctly inorganic substances. Writing chem-
ical reactions and solving problems form an interesting part of the
class work. There are three recitations a week during the first
term, two in the second, and laboratory work two afternoons a
week during each term.
In the Senior year students commence to analyze quantitatively,
pure chemicals, and, as soon as they haye acquired sufficient skill,
lake up physiolygical work. This includes the detection of pois-
ons; analysis of urine from healthy and diseased animals; exami-
nations of food, including water; qualitative and quantitative anal-
yses of the secretions in, and excretions from the body; together
with such work as the clinical department may require. Students-
will also compound or make medicines required by the school.
Dining the second term original work is required. Recitations
occur twice a week during the year, laboratory work three after-
noons dining the first term and two in the second.
Therapeutics.— The physiological and therapeutical value of
medicines used in Veterinary practice, their propelties, uses and
doses, are carefully considered throughout the Senior year, and
include about one hundred lectures.
Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.— This course em-
braces theoretical and practical instruction in the treatment of
diseases to which all domestic animals are subject, as well as the
theory anil practice of surgery. The lectures are illustrated from
Towa Agricultural College. 59
a valuable collection of specimens illustrative of the morbid anatomy
as <ic\ eloped by a wide range of diseases. The students have the
benefit of assisting in a large practice, and thoseof the Senior class
arc made familiar with the use of instruments and the administra-
tion of medicines. Several hundreds of animals, including horses,
cattle, swine and sheep are kept on the College Farm, a large por-
tion of which is breeding stock. Frequent inspection of these
llocks and herds affords the student most valuable opportunities
for observing sanitary condit ons, and gaining experience in
obstetrical practice. The course includes about one hundred and
eighty lectures. A collateral course of reading, embracing some
of the best approved English works on the subjects taught is re-
quired.
Clinics.— One half day each week is devoted to the clinics held
at the College hospital. The advanced students are required to
examine animals for certificates of soundness, diagnose diseases,
and prescribe for the same. Hundreds of animals are presented at
these examinations, for which medical or surgical advice is requir-
ed ; the student must exercise judgment as to the course of treat-
ment to be pursued in these widely differing forms of disease.
CONDITQNS OF ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission must be at least sixteen years of age.
Before entering the classes they must pass an examination in
Reading. Orthography, Geography, English Grammar and Arith-
metic.
LENGTH OF COURSE.
The course occupies two years. Sessions begin the first of
March and continue to the middle of November with a vacation
of two weeks in July.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the (dose of each term, examinations are given on the sub-
jects taught during the term. These examinations are final, with
the exception of the following subjects: viz.. Anatomy, Materia
Medica, Therapeutics, and Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. On
the last named branches the student must pass a final examination
at the end of his course. The method of examination is largely
under the control of the Professor in charge, but in every case is
such as to give ample proof as to the efficiency of the candidate.
GRADUATION AN'I) DEGREES.
Candidates for graduation must be eighteen years of age; must
have completed the entire course of study, and attained a standing
60
Iowa Agricultural College
of seventy-live per cent in all the studies pursued. Every candi-
date for graduation must present an acceptable thesis upon some
subject approved by the Faculty. The degree of Bachelor of Vet-
erinary Medicine is conferred upon the graduates of this course.
Graduates of the Course in the Sciences Related to the Indus-
tries upon completing satisfactorily all the Studies and work in the
Veterinary course will be entitled to the degree of Doctor of Vet-
erinary Medicine.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Some changes have been made in the course in Domestic Econ.
omy for the future. One division of young ladies from the Fresh-
man class will, hereafter, practice in the experimental kitchen,
from ten to twelve every morning, helping to get dinner for the
students. Each member of the class will thus give two hours a
week to the study of Domestic Economy. In this way it is expect-
ed they will learn to prepare plain food in an economical, skillful
and appetizing manner.
The Sophomore class will receive one lecture a week on subjects
connected with household management, tin 1 preservation of health,
care of the sick, etc.
The Juniors will, as heretofore, practice two afternoons a week
in the experimental kitchen, in South Hall, receiving instruction
in the more difficult operations of the culinary art.
MILITAEY SCIENCE.
Lectures on .Military subjects are delivered throughout the
course, and regular military drill takes place every Wednesday
afternoon, follows :
First year, first term,— School of the Soldier; second term,—
School of the Company. Second year, first term,— School of the
Battalion; second term,— Field Artillery Drill. Third year, first
term, — Broad-Sword Exercise and Artillery Drill; second term, —
Small-Sword Exercise. Fourth year, first term, — Cavalry Drill and
Small-Sword Exercise.
All male students of the College, except such as may be excus-
ed by proper authority, are required to wear the prescribed uni-
form, attend all military exercises, and become members of the
College Battalion. The College uniform is made of good service-
able cloth and is furnished at cost, the price not exceeding four-
teen dollars.

MATHEMATICS.
Algebra. — In Algebra there are two divisions. The first of
these is composed of students who show by their entrance exami-
nations thoroughness in Arithmetic and a ready familiarity with
the principles of Algebra through Equations of the First Degree;
the other includes all students obtaining a high standing in Arith-
metic and passing the required examination in Algebra, but show-
ing in this latter study a want of thoroughness. Particular atten-
tion is given in this study to the explanation of the cardinal prin-
ciples, and the drill in the solution of problems and equations is
conducted with reference to fixing these principles in the minds
of the students. The first division completes the subject in four-
teen weeks; the other devotes to its study the entire term.
Geometry.— All students seeming a standing of three (four
being perfect) in either of the divisions in Algebra are permitted
to enter the class in Geometry. This class is divided into two di-
visions, corresponding with those in Algebra. The first division
gives to the study of Plane. Solid and Spherical Geometry the last
four weeks of the first, and all of the second term of the Freshman
year, while the other division devotes to the same subject the
eighteen weeks of the second term. In this class the student is
early taught the full meaning of a geometrical demonstration,
lie is warned against learning the proposition by rote; and in
older that he may not fall into this error, he is, at the end of the
first book, assigned original theorems, which he is required to
demonstrate. He is expected not only to thoroughly understand
each proposition, but to be able to so arrange and present the
points of the proof as to form a complete and perfect demon-
stration.
TRIGONOMETRY. — Instruction is given in this branch during
the first nine weeks of the Sophomore year. The class is thorough-
ly drilled in the nature and use of the trigonometrical functions.
An \.lytical Geometry. — This study is pursued by theSopho-
niore class during the second term. The course of instruction
embraces Determinate and Indeterminate Gometry, including a
full examination of the Conic Sections. The underlying principles
are brought prominently forward and discussed. The student is
required to carefully analyze each article, and solve the prob-
lems connected therewith. To secure thoroughness frequent re-
views are given.
CALCULUS. Instruction in Calculus is given during the spring
Iowa Agricultural College. 63
term of the Junior year. To enter this class it is necessary that
the student should have passed the lower mathematical studies of
the course. In no case can the study be pursued successfully
without previous drill in Analytical Geometry. Buckingham's
Calculus is used as a text-book. The abstruse principles of this
method of mathematical investigation are explained upon the
theory of rates, rather than upon the theory of infinitesimals. In-
struction is given by daily recitations and lectures, with a review
each Friday, of the weeks work. Twelve week's are devoted to
Integral, and the remainder of the term to Differential Calculus.
PHYSICS.
The study of Physics commences with the Sophomore year and
extends through the Junior year. The following is an outline of
the course of study pursued: In the Sophomore year, first term,
lectures are given on Mechanics, the laws of motion, hydrostatics,
specific gravity, pneumatics and kindred topics. During the
Sophomore year, second term. Acoustics, including the physical
theory of music. Light, theories of light, mirrors, lenses, optical
instruments, double retraction and polarization of light are studied.
In the Junior year, first term, Heat, .Measurement of temperatures,
measurement of heat constants, radiant heat, calorimetry, the
steam engine, mechanical equivalent of heat, energy, kinetic and
potential energy, work, are the principal topics taught. For the
Junior year, second term. Magnetism, Electricity and Meteorology
are studied. During this term all the topics usually taught under
these heads are consided and also a brief course of lectures given
on the conservation of energy, correlation of forces, dissipation of
energy, theory of mechanics, and other similar subjects.
The Physical Laboratory is supplied with an excellent lecture
room furnished with all modern appliances, such as gas and water
which are so necessary in similai buildings. Rooms are also fitted
up for accommodation of students who desire to do special work
in experimental physics. The course of study is conducted by
means of lectures and the text-book combined, illustrated by
numerous experiments throughout the course. The cabinet of phil-
osophical apparatus is one of the most complete in the West. Its
cost was originally nearly six thousand dollars, and yearly appro-
priations continually add to its efficiency and value. During the
past year a large Dynamo- Electric Machine for producing power-
ful electric currents was purchased for the Department of Physics.
This machine can be used for producing the electric light, or as
64 Iowa Agricultural College.
an electric motor for driving machinery, and in fact for illustrating
in a striking manner all the effects and uses of Electricitv An
electric engine was made in the College Workshops, of sufficient
power to drive sewing machines and other pieces of light appa-
ratus. This engine was planned and constructed by a post-grad-
uate student in Physics. The unabridged edition of Ganot's
Physics is used as a text book.
ADVANCED COURSE IX PHYSICS.
An advanced course is provided for those students who desire
it. They are expected to have previously passed satisfactorily the
mathematics included in the course in "Mathematics and Physics."
This advanced course occupies the Senior year. A course of lec-
tures is given on the methods of physical investigation. Advance
problems in Gravitation, Hydrostatics, and Optics are discussed
during the first term. Advanced work in Magnetism and Electric-
ity occupies the second term in which the student acquaints him-
self with all the modern applications of Electricity which are of
such enormous practical utility. Great pains are taken to give the
work a practical bearing and therefore the student is required to
become familiar with batteries and Electric Machines. Labora-
tory work is required at least two full afternoons each week
through the year. The Laboratory has an excellent galvanometer,
and set of resistance coils so that good work can be done in the way
of electrical measurements.
Post Graduates.— Young men who have completed a course
of general scientific study and desire to study specially any of the
branches of Physics are invited to avail themselves of the facilities
offered here. Particularly in Magnetism and Electricity, the
Physical Cabinet is well supplied with apparatus for assisting
students who desire to lender themselves more proficient in these
branches. An advanced degree is offered those who pursue suc-
cessfully for one year, the study of Physics in connection with
some other kindred studv.
Iowa Agricultural College. <;~)
CHEMISTRY.
The General Chemistry of the first term of the Sophomore year
embraces manipulating chemical apparatus, handling and making
gases, studying the properties of different chemical elements and
rtieir compounds. In the Qualitative Analysis of the second term
i>t the Sophomore year the student receives chemicals, minerals,
etc.. to determine the elements oi' which they are composed. The
course is very thorough, and no student can go on to the Junior
year who is unable to analyze correctly inorganic substances.
Writing chemical reactions and solving problems form an import-
ant part of the class work. Three recitations a week are held in
the first term and two in the second,— laboratory work two after-
noons a week during the year.
In the Junior year the student commences by analyzing quanti-
tatively pure chemicals, and as soon as he lias acquired sufficient
skill analyzes paints, alloys, minerals, cast iron, water, etc. The
second term" s work in the laboratory is a continuation of the first,
ami includes also, organic analyses embracing such substances as
hay, milk, uric acid, sugar, etc. The class work in the first term
consists principally in working out methods of analyses suitable
for compounds whose composition is giyen. During the second
term organic chemistry is studied. Two afternoons a week are
required for laboratory work during the first term, but the lab-
oratory is open during the whole day, and as each student has a
separate desk he can spend as much extra time in the laboratory
as his other studies permit.
In the second term of the year a course of lectures on Domestic
Chemistry is delivered to the young women of the Junior class.
In the Senior year, first term, lectures are given on Agricultural
Chemistry, embracing such topics as chemistry of soils and
plants, manures, forces, etc.; second term, on foods for domestic,
animals.
The laboratories cover a space of forty-five hundred square feet,
and have one hundred desks furnished with water and gas; those
in the quantitative laboratory have filter pumps on each. The
facilities for instruction in this department are unexcelled in the
State and include in addition to the ordinary apparatus for analy-
sis, scales, combustion furnaces, microscope, spectroscope, etc.
The- text-books used in the Sophomore year are Cook's Chem-
ical Philosophy. Snively's Tables for Systematic Qualitative
Analysis; Junior year. Fresellius , Quantitative Analysis, Bloxam's
Chemistry. Organic and Inorganic.
66 Iowa Agricultural College.
BIOLOGY.
Botany.— All students in the second term of the Freshman
year begin the study of Elementary Botany. By means of lectures
twice a week, with illustrations from fresh specimens, the student
easily masters all the more important facts relating to the general
or gross anatomy of plants.
During the first term of the Sophomore year, the students in all
the departments pursue the study of Systematic Botany. They are
expected to analyze and classify a sufficient number of plants so as
to familiarize themselves with the more important orders, and the
principles of classification.
The higher course in Botany begins in the second term of the
Sophomore year with the practical study of Vegetable Anatomy,
the student spending one afternoon each week in the microscopical
laboratory, and reciting twice a week from the text book. This is
continued with the addition of Vegetable Physiology, for eleven
weeks in the Junior year. With faithfulness and earnestness on
the part of the student he cannot fail to obtain in this course a fair
knowledge of the structure and mode of growth and nutrition of
plants, as understood by modern vegetable physiologists. The
student is also made familiar with the structure, modes of growth
and nutrition, and the general classification of the lower orders of
plants; and the parasitic Fungi are studied and dwelt upon to a
considerable extent, in accordance with the growing idea of
their importance in Agriculture, Horticulture, and other indus-
trial arts.
Economic Botany occupies the last seven weeks of the Junior
year. The origin, history and relationship of cultivated plants
together with a discussion of the value and relative importance of
the timber trees of the world are taken up by text books and lec-
tures. The weeds of the farm and garden, with suggestions as to
their eradication, are discussed at some length, and the rudiments
of Medical Botany are introduced as occasion demands.
Collections of botanical specimens are made by the student
throughout the course in Botany, and submitted, from time to

Zoology. This science is begun in the second term of the
Freshman year bj the study o\' Descriptive Zoology in which are
discussed the external form, outward relation, and geographical
distribution of the various members o\' the animal kingdom. In
the first term of the Sophomore year the subject of Invertebrate;
Zoolog) is taken up. including the principles of classification and
the true relations of the different portions of the animal creation.
The second term of this year is devoted to a special consideration
of Vertebrated animals, more particularly those which possess an
economic interest. The last half of the term is occupied with the
subject of Entomology, special attention being paid to those
insects which have proved injurious to the farmer and gardener.
Their life-history, as far as known, is examined and the various
remedies and cbecks that have been found efficacious are sug-
gested. In addition to the class-room work of this year, each stu-
dent is required to collect, prepare and identity a certain number
of specimens which are then deposited in the museum. During the
last term of the year, the student spends one afternoon for three
hours) of each week in the study and identification of specimens
in the laboratory.
During the first term of the Junior year the student spends one
afternoon of each week in the laboratory in the dissection and
study of typical forms of the animal phyla.
In the second term of the Junior year the study of Comparative
Anatom> is taken up in a course of lectures extending through the
whole term. The general and special facts of Biology and the
anatomical structures of the various organisms, are disensed with
as much minuteness of detail as the time will admit, followed by a
resume of the subject, in which the evolution of the different sys-
tems of organs is traced from their earliest beginnings to their
most differentiated forms. The whole is supplemented by a short
course upon Embryolog} m which the development of the ovum is
traced ami compared with those forms already discussed.
The Zoological Museum occupies a large room on the third floor
of the south wing of the main building. It includes mounted
specimens of a few mammals, several hundred birds (mounted),
representing the avian fauna of the state, a large collection of
reptiles, in alcohol, a few fishes and a small but typical collection
<»f invertebrates. A set of the " Ward Models," illustrating the
principal larger fossils is of service in this study as well as in Geol-
68 Iowa Agricultural College.
ogy. There are, besides, the following- collections in process of
formation: An entomological cabinet, sets of the eggs and nests of
birds, the brains of vertebrates, skulls of mammals, and skeletons
of vertebrates.
During the second term of the College year, the museum room
is used as a laboratory, in which the students in Zoology make a
direct study of the specimens. Tables and chairs enough to ac-
commodate twenty students at once, are provided, and the room is
open three afternoons a week for work.
Visitors are admitted to the mnsenni every afternoon from one
to five o'clock.
GEOLOGY.
Students of the Senior class pursue this subject during the first
term, using Le Conte"s Elements of Geology as a text book. The
<dass makes frequent excursions to the quarries near the College,
in quest of specimens, and each student is required to collect as
many specimens of minerals and rocks as can be readily found in
the vicinity. The Geological Museum possesses a good collection
of the common rocks and minerals to which the student has access.
Among other advantages for pursuing this study the museum con-
tains a set of the Ward series of Geological Casts.
PHILOSOPHY.
MORAL SCIENCE. {Professor Wynn.) — The Freshman class en-
gages in the study of Moral Science, reciting three days a week
during the fall term. Peabody's Moral Science is used, and the
subject is illustrated by abundant concrete examples.
Political Economy. [Professor Stanton.) — In this division of
Social Science are taught, by text-book, familiar lectures and dis-
cussions, the laws of labor— its products and their cost; the prin-
ciples of capital, money, foreign trade, tariff, taxation, and all the
iflnnences that quickeu or retard exchange. The student thus
gains a thorough acquaintance with the scientific data that under-
lie and regulate industry. He becomes intelligent, moreover, in
all questions of public policy respecting which there is such a wide
diversity of opinion.
Psychology. {President Welch.) In the study of Psychology
we aim to avoid all those questions which the discussion, of cen-
turies has failed to solve, and which consequently have no bearing
either on human conduct or a knowledge of human nature. The
object sough! by the student in (his study is to gain a systematic
acquaintance with the pheomeno of thought, feeling and volition;
Towa Agricultural ( 'ollege 69
to get an insight; clear as may be, into the workings of his own
mind, its modes of action, its limits, its means and order of growth
from sense to reasoning. No real progress in Psychology can be
made except through the revelations of consciousness. The stu-
dent must attain the difficult art of rightly scrutinizing His own
mental states and modes of thought. Six eseays on topics chosen
by the Professor are written during the term by each member of
the class. The facts of Psychology we may add are made the basis
for the Subsequent stud} of the Philosophy of Science and.
together with the principles of Biology, are properly preparatory
to Sociology. The library is well supplied with books of refer-
ence.
Philosophy of Science. [President Welch.) — This subject
which occupies the Senior class the first half of the fall term is
presented by lectures on the creation and classification of the
sciences: methods of investigation, observation, experiment, and
hypothesis; inductive and deductive reasoning; necessary and con-
tingent truths; regressive reasoning illustrated by Geometry; limits
of scientific knowledge, etc.
Sociology. [President Welch.) — The remaining portion of the
Senior year is given to a rapid survey of the fundamental principles
of Sociology. This survey will comprise the data of the science,
namely, the feelings, ideas, and wants of man, the primitive con-
dition of the human race— its superstitions, erroneous beliefs, and
the impulses by which savage tribes struggled up into civilized
nations. A brief account will also be given of the origin and
growth of government, law. science, religion, industry and ait.
The object sought is simply ,o lay the foundation for future acqui-
sitions.
LITERATURE AXJ) LANGUAGE.
Rhetoric. [Miss Sinclair.) — In this study the design, is, with
the aid of the most competent text-book we can find, to require as
much original work in grammatical purity, principles, choice, and
use of words, kinds of composition, etc., as the time of the classes
will pernnt. No pains are spared to illustrate the main excellen-
lencies of style in the works of the great masters who have writ-
ten in the mother tongue, and in this way to make this study a
fitting preparation for English Literature which is to follow.
EIlSTORY. [Professor Wynn.)—A course in History has been
planned for the Ladies* course in the Sophomore year, first term.
The aim is here, instead of running over Universal History in a
70 Iowa Agricultural College.
dry text-book fashion, to take hold of some fruitful epoch in the
ages, and develop it, the student furnishing the result of lier own
researches along a line of references indicated in the lecture-room.
English Literature. (Professor Wynn.) — The first term of
the Junior year is occupied with English Literature proper. As
there is but one term devoted to this, and it is impossible in so
brief a space to become familiar with the whole history of the
English mind, from the days of the Anglo-Saxon Conquest down
to the present time, a similar method is pursued here as in History
—some specially productive era being selected, and the student
required, under the guide of an outline furnished in the lecture-
room to sum up investigations of his own in the literary, social,
and religious influences prevailing at that time and giving charac-
ter to the master-pieces which were then produced. At this stage
of the student's progress, the library becomes his laboratory, and
care will be taken that the necessary books of reference will be
furnished to his hand.
The Science ok Language. (Professor Wynn.) — This is pur-
sued by the Seniors in the second term of the year. Here the stu-
dent, keeping in the main close to some competent text-book, seeks
to discover the underlying laws of* language, making that subtle
instrument, which is to be the means of conveying his intellectual
life and power to his fellows, the object of his study, with the view
to determining the origin, history, growth, decay, and ethnic rela-
tions of all the languages on the face of the earth, and settling in
so far as that may be done, the relation of language to thought.
As leading out to psychology in one direction, to ethnology in an-
other, and to comparative mythology in another, it is replete with
interest, and has a fascination that entitles it to a crowning place
among the literary studies.
Latin. [Professor Wynn.)— A one year course in Latin is pro
vided in the Freshman year. The design is simply to meet the
practical necessities of the scientific curricula that prevail here.
A brief preparatory drill introduces the student to Caesar; after-
reading carefully two books, he enters Vilgil's vKneid and con-
tinues it to the end of the year. The Roman pronunciation is
adopted. Allen & GreeilOUgh's text-books are used, and the most
advanced methods of imparting instruction are diligently sought
tor and practiced.
French and German. [Miss Sinclair.) Each of these lan-
guages is regarded as a means to an end, and not as an end in itself.
Each is therefore pursued as an ait rather than a science, and con-
Iowa Agricultural ColUgt, 71
sequehtlj the natural or empirical method of instruction has a
more prominent place than the scientific. By combining the two
methods in this manner, better practical results are obtained than
would he possible in the same time bj following either method
exclusively. In the study of either French or German the students
are expected, from the beginning, to use the language in the class
room as far as possible.
The study o\' German has been introduced as optional with
Latin and Rhetoric in the Freshman year. It is not claimed that
anything hut a rudimental knowledge of the language can he
acquired in the allotted time, hut special effort is made to render
this knowledge practical and to make it the basis for future attain-
ment. An energetic and persevering student gains by one year's
thorough application, a knowledge of German, which, though lim-
ited, may still be of great practical use. Otto's Conversation
Grammar is used as a text-book during- the first term.
The course in French occupies the last three terms of the course,
in Mechanical and Civil Engineering and the Ladies' Course. The
chief object in view is not an exhaustive and critical knowledge of
the grammar of the language, but as high a degree of its practical
masters as is attainable in the time. Much time is therefore given
to reading in order to familiarize the student with different styles
of writing, and to give facility in translating. In both French and
German the much neglected art of understanding the spoken lan-
guage receives particular attention. For acquiring the necessary
knowledge of inflections and for reference. Keetel's Collegiate
French Course is used.
English Composition, Essays, and Dissertations.— In-
struction is given in English Composition during the whole of the
Freshman year. Collect spelling, use of capital letters, punctua-
tion, etc. are taught by frequent exercises. The Sophomores meet
once a week tor practice in Essay writing under the direction of
one of the professors. During the first half of the Junior year the
Juniors have exercises in the writing of essays and orations under
the direction of the Professor of English Literature. The Juniors
in the second term, and the Seniors in the first term write disserta-
tions for public presentation.
VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.
Music is not. by law a regular study in the College curriculum.
Opportunities are given, however, to such as desire it, to take les-
sons upon the organ or piano, or in vocal training. The charges
are as follows:
72 Iowa Agricultural College.
Lessons upon the piano or organ, per term of twenty lessons,
ten dollars.
For use of piano, or organ, two hours daily practice, 50 cents
per month.
For nse of piano or organ, one hour daily practice, 25 cents per
month.
Chorus lessons, one lesson per week, one dollar per term of ten
weeks.
Harmony lessons, in classes, five dollars per term of ten weeks-
No pupils taken for less than one half term.
THE LIBRARY.
The Library now numbers about six thousand volumes. It is
made up almost entirely of new books, purchased since the opening
of the College; they are bound in half calf, library style, and sub-
stantially covered with strong brown paper. These have all been
selected with reference to the wants of the departments, the aim
being to build up a working library which shall furnish the students
and officers of the College, who are pursuing investigations beyond
the ordinary text books, with the best authorities and works of ref-
erence. It is not the intention of the College to furnish in its
library simply a means of amusement, and while its officers hope to
see students use the books freely, they expect that such use shall
be in all cases with a definite object in view. As the student's stay
in college is snort, and his time consequently of the greatest value.
lie cannot afford to waste it in reading worthless books, nor even
in desultory reading of good books. It is therefore urged upon stu-
dents that they lay out for themselves courses of reading and study
in the library, under the advice of the Librarian, or of some of the
Professors. It is urged further that students make frequent use of
the books of reference recommended by the teachers of the various
college studies.
The library is open for consultation, or forthe drawing of books
during tin 1 day and evening, from 2 P. M. to 9 P. M.

MAXl T AL LABOR.
The following iules regulating manual labor have heen made by
the Board of Trustees, it will be seen that no student can pay
more than from a third to a half of his expenses, in work:
1. The manual labor required by law of students in the College,
is divided into two kinds: viz., uninstructive labor, which shall be
compensated by the payment of wages; and instructive labor
which shall be compensated by the instruction given and the skill
acquired.
2. Uninstructive labor shall comprise all the operations in the
work-shop, garden, upon the farm and elsewhere, in which the
work done accrues to the benefit of the College and not to the ben-
efit of the student. Instructive labor shall embrace all those oper-
ations in the workshop, museum, laboratories, experimental
kitchen, upon the farm and garden, in which the sole purpose of
the student is the acquisition of skill and practice.
8. Students shall engage in instructive labor in the presence
and under the instruction of the professor in charge according to
the statements made in each of the courses of study.
4. The labor furnished by the schools of Agriculture, of Veter-
inary Science, and of Engineering is given by each exclusively to
its own special students.
.">. The details supplied by the needs of the Main Building and
other departments will be given by the President on nomination
by the heads of departments exclusively to the most faithful and
meritorious students of the course in the Sciences Related to the
Industries.
(i. Uninstructive Labor is paid for rigidly according to value as
settled by comparison with regular labor.
GOVERNMENT.
The crowded buildings of the Agricultural College and the
nature of ils exercises, complicated as they are by manual labor,
niakeorder, punctuality, and systematic effort indispensable. This
institution can therefore offer no inducements to the idler or self-
indulgent. Those, moreover, who are too independent to submit
to needful authority, or too restless to accept wholesome restraint.
are advised to go where the courses of study are milder and the
requirements are consequently less. The education attained here
is the result of energetic effort made possible by a uniform system
of conduct and study. The following regulations give the institu-
Iowa Agricultural College. 77
tion the highest efficiency and secure to the student the Largest
possible return for time and expense.
1. The hours from seven to ten o'clock on week-day evenings,
ami from 7::i<> v. m. to 12 M., and from 1 P. M. to 5 p. M. of all week-
days except Saturday, are employed in study recitation and
labor.
2. Students must attend punctually all exercises of the classes
to which they belong, except in cases of illness or unavoidable
detention.
:!. When students have for the above reasons been absent from
an\ exercise, they shall, in person, as soon as possible, present
their reasons for such absence to the President. If absent from
any recitation they shall without delay obtain from the professor
in charge a written recomendation for excuse for such absence,
which shall be presented to the President for approval. .No one is
permitted to attend a second recitation after an unexcused
absence.
4. Students boarding and rooming in any building on the Col-
lege Ground shall be subject to the same regulations as those board-
ing and rooming in the Main College buildiag.
•I. Students boarding outside the College Grounds shall, as far
as possible, keep study hours in their rooms. In the intervals be-
tween recitations at the college buildings they shall remain in the
chapel, keeping such order as is essential to uninterupted study.
Access to the rooms and halls of the sections require special per-
mission.
6. The captains of sections in the dormitories shall report the
condition of the order in their respective sections to the President
at such times as he may designate.
PROHIBITORY. LAWS <>F rm-: COLLEGE.
1. students may not leave the vicinity of the college buildings
at any time without permission from the President. General per-
mission to be absent on Saturday is granted by the President.
2. Loud talking, whistling, scuffling, gathering in halls and
staircases, and boisterous and noisy conduct, are at all limes for-
bidden.
;;. During study hours, when not engaged in work or recitation,
students may not leave their rooms except for unavoidable
reasons.
78 Iowa Agricultural College.
4. At ten o'clock r. M., lights shall be extinguished, and from
this time to the rising bell no student may be out of his room,
except for serious reisons, nor shall he in any way disturb his
neighbors.
5. Students shall not deface by marking, cutting, or otherwise
any buildings, walls or furniture belonging to the College.
(>. Students shall not abstract or remove any article, whether
clothing, food, furniture, tools, fruit, flowers, or any other property
belonging to the College. Damage, destruction, or theft of prop-
erty, when not more then one dollar in value, will be punished by
line double the amount, but when exceeding that sum the case will
be handed over to the civil authorities.
7. Card playing and other games of chance, cooking, and the
use of tobacco and intoxicating beverages, in any of the rooms of
the College buildings, and smoking on the College Grounds are
strictly forbidden.
LITER Alt Y SOCIETIES.
Xo literary, scientific, or other society shall he organized with-
out the approval of the President and Faculty. The existing soci-
eties, four in number, meet on Saturday evenings and close their
sessions at or before 10:15. Students not attending the meetings of
these societies shall observe the order and quiet required on other
evenings of the week.
PUBLIC WORSHIP AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.
The Faculty require in and about the College buildings such
quiet and decorum as are fitting to the observance of the Sabbath.
Officers and students gather daily in the chapel for public wor-
ship. A Bible (dass. led by some older student, has its exercises on
Sunday, at 1 P. M. The students' prayer meeting is held on Sunday
evening, and on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 a discourse is given in
the chapel by the President, one of the Professors or a clergyman
invited for the occasion. The object of these sermons is to empa-
si/.e and enforce the principles of the Christian religion, but, in a
State institution like this, it would be manifestly improper to
teach or to controvert the tenets of sectarianism.
